Replacing my gas stove and trying to decide if I should go with an electric or a gas stove. Thanks

Same as a golf cart, gas. Seriously, so much easier to cook with gas.

We had electric for the prior 25 years before moving here. We now have gas. If given the choice I would never ever go back to electric. You have so much more control with gas.

If we could we would have gas but we can’t. Figure in the cost of running an electric line if you go with electric.

Gas is great but an electric induction stove is better than gas. They are expensive though, but worth checking out.

Totally agree.
Induction is faster and cleaner than gas, with instant control, and if you have young grand kids, a lot safer.
Gas is so yesterday!

We bought a new home that was only plumbed for a gas dryer. We brought a nice set we like with an electric dryer that we want to keep. It cost us $500 to have a 220v line installed for it. Less than a new gas dryer but still...............
Probably about the same for a range unless you already have a 220v electric outlet in place.

I prefer gas, which is what I have in my NY home. I have electric in our TV home, because that is what was there when we bought it, and it's a nice unit. I have learned to deal with the differences, and would not go to the expense of changing it from electric to gas unless my electric unit needed to be replaced. My TV home is plumbed for gas, and if I had to buy a new one, I would go with gas.

Stay with the GAS. The newer homes don't have Gas in their neighborhoods. Having a Gas stove could be a selling point.

Gas, if the power goes out, you can still cook.

Define Newer Homes... In Hammocks at Finney we all have gas, and what I understand anything south of the turnpike is gas. I was of the understanding that if you were south of 44 you had gas...

Having Gas was a selling point for us.

Having cooked on a gas stove for most of my life, we had an induction electric range in our new home here. (Gas was not an option) After 6 years of experience, we have found that Induction is not as good as gas though it is better than other electric ranges. While induction ranges are easier to clean up, if you really like to cook than go with gas.

1) You have more control of the heat,

2) You can lift the fry pan off for a few seconds without the range complaining,

3) You don't need induction cookware to cook on it. All Clad works on both but other makes may not work on an induction range.

Having said all this, I think you have started a thread similar to the gas vs electric golf carts.

Not readily available, but go with induction. Water in small pot will boil in less than a minute and very little/non heat on the coil/burner no residual mess in and around coil/burner. Minimizes heat in kitchen, since coil/burner does not get hot.

Stick with gas.
